4 Moving from a Decentralized to a Centralized Procurement Model A New Era for Procurement The role of procurement is entering a new era. Organizations are shifting from a decentralized to a centralized model that gives procurement tighter controls, standardized processes, and power to negotiate with vendors and achieve new efficiencies and savings. What tools are needed to achieve centralized procurement excellence? And what best practices have proven to maximize growth and profits? Given the global trends driving changes in procurement practices, this shift toward centralization is occurring just in time. Most businesses face aggressive savings and cost management goals and management looks to procurement to help achieve them. At the same time, as more organizations go global, so do supply bases; this typically introduces new risks to businesses and drives the need for tight controls over supplier performance. With this in mind, the issues of sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) continue to grow in their relevance. These trends are occurring at a time when companies are striving to create the highest levels of operational efficiency while also supporting an increasingly mobile workforce. Now, more than ever, procurement must address these changes and provide organizations with secure access to systems anytime, anywhere. Creating Leaders Leading companies are responding to these demands by leveraging integrated tools to support key processes. And they are generating results by meeting savings targets, effectively managing and collaborating with suppliers, enforcing contract compliance, and streamlining operations. According to SAP benchmarking surveys of leading global corporations, these organizations achieve results by combining software with recognized best practices for sourcing and procurement. Additionally, the surveys show that these best practices which can impact both strategic and transactional activities are making a significant impact on the bottom line. Let s take a closer look at the most important best practices being implemented. Centralize Procurement Operations Organizations that operate a single, integrated procurement system to manage all categories of spend have a 46% greater impact on managed spend and savings compared to their peers. This best practice results in a single source of truth for supplier data, expenditure data, and contract data, which in turn drives cost savings and operational efficiencies. SAP has invested heavily in its procurement applications. Today we offer a comprehensive set of integrated solutions that span spend analysis, sourcing, contract management, operational procurement, invoice management, and supplier management.
5 Increase Spend Under Management Best-in-class companies leverage another essential best practice: maximizing the number of spend categories under management. As you increase the number of spend categories managed by procurement, you increase savings realized by the business. That s because unapproved maverick spending is kept to a minimum, and everyone makes full use of approved suppliers with whom you have prenegotiated, lower rates. Reduce Cycle Times Best-in-class organizations also leverage technology-enabled best practices (for example, via automation) to reduce cycle times for transactions. These companies are able to convert requisitions to purchase orders 47% more quickly than their peers, as Figure 2 illustrates. This allows these procurement organizations to accomplish more with fewer staff members or refocus staff to work on more strategic activities. As you can see in Figure 1, organizations that keep a close eye on off-contract spending achieve 40% less maverick spending compared to their peers. These guidelines are often directed or mandated by automated system controls. Additionally, companies that conduct regular spend reviews to identify new areas of contract opportunity have a 24% greater impact on managed spend compared to their peers.

6 A Comprehensive Set of Integrated Procurement Applications How SAP Solutions Enable Procurement Excellence Comprising a comprehensive array of source-to-pay products, SAP procurement solutions help you drive efficiencies and infuse the best practices described previously across the entire procurement lifecycle. Our applications work together to help ensure that your company is meeting its savings targets across all categories of spend, effectively managing and collaborating with suppliers, enforcing contract compliance, and streamlining operations. We deliver this value through a unique combination of procurement applications, flexible deployment options, and valueadded services that increase ROI by properly integrating the software so that it supports efficient, closed-loop processes. Once deployed, our software captures all sourcing activities, contracts, procurement transactions, and supplier interactions in a single system of record. By analyzing this trusted data, you can identify new opportunities for savings and efficiencies. Spend Analysis Is your business struggling with cost containment but not sure where to focus its sourcing efforts? Most likely, the root cause is disaggregated and inconsistent spend data. This situation makes accurate spend analysis nearly impossible due to insufficient granularity of spend category data on goods and services; unclear information on the usage of suppliers across business units; and poor reporting, measurement, and analysis. When management responds with top-down directives to reduce costs, increase purchasing control, gain full visibility into spend, and reduce supply risk, it s time to focus on spend performance management. SAP offers the spend analysis tools you need to create a wellplanned spend and supplier analysis strategy for all categories of spend. Together, these tools enable visibility into organizationwide spending and help you identify cost-saving opportunities. In addition, they help you reduce supplier risk, manage supply continuity, and increase the amount of spend you influence. With the right SAP solutions in place, you ll benefit from: Increased spend visibility through data cleansing and enrichment, so you can identify new savings and supplier rationalization opportunities The ability to link spend data across business units The ability to normalize, validate, and enrich supplier data and assign classification structures Collaborative performance management, which enables you to capture performance goals, contributing factors, and snapshots of savings opportunities Predictive supplier risk management through networked performance data Sourcing The ability to meet or exceed savings targets is always of paramount importance to a procurement organization. The team must continually find ways to generate additional savings from sourced goods and services without sacrificing quality. A solid supplier negotiation strategy, strong collaboration with internal stakeholders, and streamlined processes help to achieve this goal. With sourcing solutions from SAP, you can manage projects; model global sourcing best practices; run collaborative requests for information, quotations, and proposals (RFx); conduct auction events; and incorporate supplier profile information. You can then quickly analyze supplier responses and determine your award decisions to shorten your time to savings. Armed with the right sourcing solutions from SAP, you can: Define and repeat a best-practice sourcing process, track key tasks and milestones, and collaborate with stakeholders Identify and qualify supplier capabilities using an online RFx, and then evaluate supplier proposals to receive the best value on negotiated goods and services Drive competition through online, real-time bidding via reverse, forward, and Dutch auctions Navigate all qualitative and quantitative supplier attributes to arrive at a best value award decision Conduct demand-driven, spot-sourcing activities at the time of requisition to achieve incremental savings Contract Management With thousands of transactions and suppliers, your organization faces the uphill task of ensuring there is no leakage of possible savings due to breach of contracts. Equally important,
7 you need to ensure that suppliers are delivering on promised service levels. Leakage can be the result of cumbersome contract creation, approval, and management processes, as well as a lack of visibility into already-negotiated supplier contracts. SAP provides you with the tools to enable standardized contract creation; transfer negotiated terms and conditions to operational contracts; and provide portfolio visibility, systemic governance, and compliance management. These tools help increase the amount and percentage of captured cost savings in contracts, increase the percentage of compliant transactions, and cut down contract creation cycle times. As a result, you get the highest value from your contracts while reducing corporate risk. With contract management solutions from SAP, you can: Standardize and automate contract creation and streamline the approval process with consistent, preapproved language and controlled edits Improve employee awareness of contract terms, outstanding commitments, and compliance issues through contract performance management Encourage purchasing under contract terms, track accruals against contracts, and apply volume discounts through central contract integration with back-end systems and processes Operational Procurement If your procurement organization faces pressure to reduce costs while maintaining high-quality output, you need ways to boost the efficiency of your procurement operations. For example, you can gain cost-saving efficiencies by implementing a standardized, automated, and integrated procure-to-pay process that encompasses: Daily requisitions An automated order-to-pay process Online catalogs that your employees can access and use to place orders Automated rebate tracking At the same time, you need ways to maximize process and contract compliance, promote sustainability initiatives, improve procurement productivity, and increase realized savings. SAP offers operational procurement solutions that enable you to automate, simplify, and accelerate goods and services procurement for all categories of spend. The software supports a zero touch process that enforces purchasing from preferred suppliers while shortening order cycle time and driving procurement discipline. These solutions also enable you to: Accelerate operational procurement processes, shorten the order cycle, and equip users with intuitive search and shop functionality in catalogs Integrate functions such as plant maintenance with intuitive requisitioning functionality Provide item-level sustainability information, empowering employees to make smart choices Avoid maverick buying, improve compliance, and foster standardization for self-service, plan-driven, and services procurement through requisitioning Manage resources, monitor costs, and improve the services procurement process Improve spend compliance through integration with multiple back-end systems Invoice Management Managing invoices often involves lots of manual work that drains your internal and supplier resources. Everyone involved must engage in time-consuming historical research, belabored communication with suppliers, documentation activities, requests for more information, manual routing, and labor-intensive monitoring and communications regarding the status of unpaid invoices. To address these challenges, SAP offers invoice management solutions that help you streamline and drive accuracy into this process. Our software reduces data entry by eliminating paper processing. It also applies appropriate international taxation requirements, helps you manage invoice exceptions and approvals, increases visibility into invoice status, and shortens the payment cycle through use of early-pay discounts. With our invoice management solutions, you can: Bring invoices into the system from any source whether paper based, faxed, ed, or sent via electronic data interchange (EDI) or from a supplier network Procurement Solutions from SAP 7
8 Classify, route, and sort invoices automatically; systematically detect invoice exceptions and duplications; and help ensure that the right invoice reaches the right person at the right time Receive both provisional and differential invoices for fluctuating commodities Automate taxation and reporting to support everything from corporate financial requirements to trade regulations to continuous improvement programs Support a rigorous process to help ensure compliance based on integrated, consolidated information and enhanced reporting features Supplier Management Effective supplier management is the keystone to any procurement strategy. As your organization sources more products and materials globally, you need better visibility into and connectivity with your supply base. You also need tools to help ensure that each supplier meets the performance goals you ve defined. To address these needs, more companies are deploying supplier management solutions that deliver a 360-degree view of supplier profile, performance, and risk information. Leveraging supplier management solutions from SAP, you can integrate suppliers throughout your entire purchasing process and gain the insights you need to make informed decisions about your supply base. Our solutions enable you to take both a global and category-based approach to managing your supplier relationships, leveraging your own corporate data as well as networked information. This enables you to take proactive approaches to performance management, as you have visibility into your top-tier suppliers and their suppliers. You can also better enforce your corporate sustainability efforts and avoid potential supply disruptions. With supplier management solutions from SAP, you can: Efficiently bring on board and qualify new and potential suppliers for consideration in future negotiation events Classify your suppliers to create a category-based procurement strategy Connect suppliers to your procurement processes through document and information exchange, supplier collaboration tools, and supplier portal management Evaluate the performance of your supply base, effectively incorporating employee feedback Predict future supplier behavior and mitigate risk by leveraging a business information network to enrich your company s supplier performance data with external information Develop your suppliers based on performance and a welldefined strategy Our applications work together to help ensure that your company is meeting its savings targets across all categories of spend, effectively managing and collaborating with suppliers, enforcing contract compliance, and streamlining operations.
